Queen Esther wife of Xerxes Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence by Gerard Gertoux

...according to the astronomical tablet referenced BM 32234 the death ofXerxes is dated 14/V/21 between two lunar eclipses, one dated 14/III/21 (26 June 475 BCE), which was total, and a second dated 14/VIII/21 (20 December 475 BCE), which was partial. Thus the death of Xerxes has to be dated 24 August 475 BCE.

An astronomical tablet (BM 32234)194 contains two lunar eclipses dated [14/III] and 14/VIII in addition the death of Xerxes is dated 14/V.

Given that the second lunar eclipse is dated 14/VIII (November/ December) it is
easy to check what year it occurred195 and also that the first dated event 14/V was no connection with an eclipse (475 BCE = -474, P = Partial; T = Total; N = Penumbral).

A second way of checking the data in the astronomical tablet is the wording: In the area of the 4 rear stars of Sagittarius it [the moon] was eclipsed [1st eclipse].

The observations were performed in Babylon whose latitude is 32°33' (or 32.55°) North and longitude is 44°26' (or 44.43°) East210. With astronomy software it is possible to see the sky at one point and at a given time211 (in 475 BCE Universal Time: -474-06-26 0:00; Azimuth: 230°; Field of view: 45°; in 465 BCE Universal Time: -464-06-06 0:00).

One can see that in 475 BCE the moon was 20° rear back of Sagittarius (above left) and in 465 BCE it was inside (above right). According to the astronomical tablet the first lunar eclipse [total] was: in the area of the 4 rear stars of Sagittarius [in 475 BCE]. Consequently, according to astronomy, Xerxes died (14/V/21) on Wednesday 23 August 475 BCE.
